The website, which became operational at midnight, asks those signing up for the vaccine to provide personal information, depending on which group they fall into.

All other mosque facilities will also remain closed to the public until further notice, the statement said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moderna develops South Africa covid vaccine:<\/strong> US vaccine maker Moderna is trialing a new jab designed to protect people from the ultra virulent strain of covid-19 discovered in South Africa last year, the company said in <a href=\"https:\/\/investors.modernatx.com\/news-releases\/news-release-details\/moderna-announces-it-has-shipped-variant-specific-vaccine\">a statement<\/a>. The Phase 1 clinical trial will be funded and conducted by the National Institutes of Health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Calls for pharma companies to waive some intellectual property rights to covid-19 <\/strong><strong>vaccines just gained second wind from the African Union<\/strong>, with an eye to enable more equitable access for developing nations, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/idUSKBN2AP1CP\">Reuters<\/a> reports. The proposal, which initially came from South Africa and India \u2014 both of which are manufacturing jabs \u2014 at the World Trade Organization last year, wasn\u2019t met with open arms from developed countries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A skeptical public and logistical difficulties are leading EU countries\u2019 stockpiles<\/strong><strong> of the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab to grow without being used<\/strong>, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/767fdd85-5329-479d-b565-4ec85d28b492\">the Financial Times<\/a>.

Merkel\u2019s remarks come only weeks after the EU\u2019s acrimonious battle with AstraZeneca over its delayed deliveries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>That makes the possibility of European countries demanding a vaccine passport all the more ironic. <\/strong>The proposal to introduce vaccine \u201cpassports\u201d \u2014 aka certificates of vaccination \u2014 to allow people to travel in the EU could materialize within three months, after leaders broadly agreed at a virtual summit on Thursday that introducing certificates are necessary, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/eu-coronavirus-summit-vaccine-certificates-expected-by-summer\/a-56701869\">Deutsche Welle<\/a> reports. States have not yet set a framework for how they would be used, German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
